In times of old, people wrote COBOL and BASIC.


They make CrossOver, which is a productized version of Wine that lets you run Windows software on MacOS. They also work closely with Valve, who have just announced Steam Frame (a device that runs SteamOS on ARM).


I bought the Geekom Air12 Lite, and the build quality has impressed me.


God is all-powerful, eternal, exists outside of space and time, and created us for a purpose - but he's too busy to be bothered by our prayers?


The glee I see in many people over this possibility is quite chilling.
